It's my birthday, I want to talk Blissdom and Bon Jovi…so here it is! I'm Going to BlissDom with Petit Jean Meats!! So, I'm getting ready to head out for BlissDom this week and I'm completely terrified. I'm a fun-loving social butterfly online, but I'm pretty darned shy in person. There are so many […]

Yesterday was a rough day. I don’t know why particularly, but it was like a perfect storm of emotions, physical ailments, activities, and mommy just plain going crazy. I ended the day with a post on my personal Facebook page that said this: {I know that “looney bin” is not politically correct, but I was […]

My Tornado of Thoughts I haven't done one of these Tornado of Thoughts posts in a long time, but I have a ton of stuff running through my head and I can't get the posts up fast enough so I need to just get it all out. Marriage Stuff Hubby and I haven't had "intimate […]

I have a lot of favorite love songs because I used to be all mushy and touchy-feely (before I got married, had a kid, found out what love was "really" about). One of my favorite CDs of all time, that I could listen to all day long, every day and night, is Madonna's Something […]

I asked you if you would come back and talk to me about your life… …And then I disappeared… It's Monday now and I'm looking at email and blog stats and reading other blogs and realizing that I haven't posted since Friday. It's funny, really, because on Friday I was all mushy and talking about […]

Blogging is fun. Blogging is work. Blogging is cathartic. Blogging is stressful. Blogging is easy. Blogging is hard. Why is blogging such a joy and such a challenge at the same time? For me, blogging was supposed to be a hobby, a part-time fun thing to do when Hubby wanted to watch some crazy show […]

Five Crazy Thoughts on Election Day I voted this morning and that always causes me to feel a little crazy. I thought this morning would be a Transformation Tuesday post (stay tuned, it's coming) but I had to share my crazy thoughts about Election Day first! Even though I live in a small town (that […]

I don't like to talk about where I was on 9/11, but I might as well get it out. I slept in that day. I was late to work because I was tired and I ignored my alarm clock. I didn't have a reason for sleeping in, I just did. I was lazy and I […]
